List of Cornell University fraternities and sororities
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article includes a list of Cornell University fraternities and sororities. The Cornell University Greek system dates to the first months of university operation during the autumn of 1868. Cornell's co-founder and first president, Andrew Dickson White was a strong promoter of fraternities as a means of teaching self-governance to young students. Among its leaders, other strong supporters of the Greek system were Presidents Edmund Ezra Day and Frank H.T. Rhodes.
Among general ("social") organizations, Cornell currently recognizes 29 Interfraternity Council fraternities, 11 Panhellenic Association sororities, and 15 Multicultural Greek and Fraternal Council fraternities and sororities.[3]
